X Academy Series: Founder Academy

Founder Academy is a five-day virtual curriculum and educational experience for founders who are post Seed but haven't raised a Series A round. It is organized by San Francisco-based Epic Events founded by Anna Cho, Founding Partner of First Check Ventures and Anna Cho Syndicate. This application only, merit based program will dive into topics from "Team & Culture" to "Negotiating a Term Sheet". The speaker lineup features prominent and up-and-coming investors and founders.

This is a virtual event, and you will be able to join us online from the comfort of your own home to learn from the greatest minds in building the next unicorn. You’ll hear what is top of mind for investors and network with a global community of fellow pioneers, and leverage the best part of a COVID-induced virtual world: being able to connect with and hear from your esteemed peers where distance is no longer relevant!
